Chapter 281 The God of Darkness's Demand
Could it be because it was injured?
Seeing their concern, Hanjun explained, "The injuries he sustained have already been treated. It's just that he's still too young for a dragon. He's now resting to regain his proper size, so just let him sleep well."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Master PungPong and the others nodded in understanding, petting the young dragon, suddenly realizing what they were doing.
This was a dragon!
They were actually able to touch a young dragon.
As they saw its belly rise and fall with each breath, the contrast was striking: the elegance of an adult dragon and the adorableness of a young one created a vivid disparity, making them feel a world apart from Butch's usual image, which left the players in awe.
The name of the dragon quickly attracted many onlookers.
They all knew that if Butch were to wake up now, he wouldn't let them touch him.
This meant that now was the perfect time to pet the dragon.
Hanjun took the opportunity to lead Hanbin away from the crowd, moving toward a quieter area.
Hanbin still wore a displeased expression.
Hanjun couldn't understand why Hanbin always had so many reasons to be unhappy, so he asked, "What's wrong this time?"
Hanbin paused for a moment before saying, "The dragon race is a species I created. He's the last dragon, and yet you're just leaving him with those humans."
Hanjun understood now; this was the root of his concerns.
He replied, "Don't worry, those people won't harm Butch. You have to know they're very interested in dragons and would never hurt him."
Hanbin didn't believe Hanjun's words.
During Hanjun's thousand-year slumber, he had seen enough.
The destruction of the dragon race might have some connection to him, but more so it was due to humans seeing the value in dragons, capturing, torturing, skinning, and butchering them, leading to the gradual extinction of the race.
Hanjun realized he wouldn't be able to change Hanbin's mind easily, so he quickly jumped to another topic. "So, do you still harbor hostility and prejudice against humans?"
Hanbin replied, "This isn't prejudice; it's a fact."
Hanjun patiently said, "The essence of humanity is indeed flawed, but I believe more in their better side."
This was the fundamental difference between Hanjun and Hanbin.
Hanbin was more attuned to the worst aspects of humanity, while Hanjun had fallen into slumber during humanity's struggles, causing Hanbin to instinctively despise them.
Hanjun, on the other hand, believed in the good nature of humans, which is why he was willing to use all his power to protect them.
The two Gods also represented the opposing sides of the world, each focusing on different aspects of belief.
Hanbin showed no interest in Hanjun's words, snorting in response, "Our bet is not yet over; just wait and see."
Clearly, Hanbin did not believe that these humans could compare to his demon army.
A black hole opened behind him as he took a step back and passed through it into the Abyss.
Hanjun covered his head and smiled helplessly; it seemed that convincing Hanbin was now impossible.
Long after Hanbin had left, Hanjun made his way back and saw Master PungPong and others waiting for him while holding Butch.
Seeing their expressions, Hanjun knew they must have learned something.
Sure enough, Master PungPong spoke up directly, "Hanjun, was that person just now the God of Darkness?"
[ DarkPuns: What? Why did they suddenly say that? What did I just miss? ]
[ BananaSplitz: Isn't it obvious? Hanjun's identity is very suspicious. He could very well be the God of Light, so it's pretty obvious who is the mysterious figure named Hanbin by his side is. ]
[ FluffyPillowFighter: Wow, do you all take the live streaming this seriously? I just think that guy in a black cloak looks really handsome. ]
[ EpicFailGuy: I think the answer is already pretty clear. Hanjun previously issued a mission for players to understand the lost memories of the God of Light and why the God of Darkness destroyed the world; it's already heavily implied. ]
[ CaptainClueless: So, is the streamer trying to find a way to deal with the God of Darkness, this big boss? ]
[ UnicorFartMaster: It's impossible to deal with the God of Darkness. Didn't the forum say that? Maybe we can try to talk him out of it with some clever words. ]
Master PungPong and his group had the same idea, so they took the initiative to seek out Hanjun for more information.
It was their first time meeting the God of Darkness.
Although they didn't know his personality, seeing that he hadn't taken the initiative to attack them made them wonder if the God of Darkness had his own difficulty.
Perhaps this battle didn't need to happen.
That's what Master PungPong was thinking, but they still needed to confirm their thoughts with Hanjun.
Hanjun didn't seem surprised that they had figured it out: "Since you already know, what do you think?"
Master PungPong and his companions exchanged glances, not expecting Hanjun to admit it so readily, catching them off guard.
After calming down, they began to think.
They had seen the forums before, and the most popular saying on the forums was:
Fighting doesn't solve anything.
Of course, it was impossible for them to go and fight the God of Darkness themselves, but they could go to the God of Light and let him teach the God of Darkness a lesson first.
Just as Master PungPong was about to jokingly say this, Spicy Flavor Fairy stepped forward and took over the conversation.
"What do you think the God of Darkness's demands are?" he asked.
This was exactly what had been troubling Hanjun.
From the current situation, it seemed that Hanbin's demands were related to him.
Hanbin didn't want Hanjun to care for humans anymore and definitely didn't want any incidents like his coma to happen again.
However, when Hanjun woke up, his first instinct was to help the humans.
This made Hanbin even more displeased, further solidifying his determination to destroy the World of Eorera.
